In the Line of Fire: A Memoir by Pervez Musharraf Free EBook Epub,Pdf, Mobi Download

It is almost unprecedented for a head of state to publish a memoir
while still in office. But Pervez Musharraf is no ordinary head of
state. As President of Pakistan since 1999, his is one of the most
dangerous jobs in the world, and he continues to play a crucial role in
the global war on terror. A one-time supporter of the Taliban, a general
who fought in several wars, President Musharraf took a decisive turn
against militant Islam in 2001. Since then he has survived two
assassination attempts; rooted out militants in his own government;
helped direct countless raids against al-Qaeda both in his cities and in
the mountains; and tracked Osama bin Laden with technical and human
intelligence. IN THE LINE OF FIRE is astonishingly revealing and honest
about dozens of topics of intense interest to the world. Among its many
revelations: exactly how Pakistani authorities tracked down and smashed
three major al-Qaeda control centres in the mountains; how al-Qaeda’s
many-layered structure was revealed after the assassination attempts;
Bin Laden’s current position within the al-Qaeda hierarchy; what it has
been like to deal with Bush and Blair; how Pakistan and India have
avoided nuclear confrontation; and much more. The terrible earthquake of
2005, killing nearly 40,000 Pakistanis, is just one chapter in a life
and career that has been filled with danger and drama. The worldwide
launch of President Musharraf’s memoir promises to be a sensation.
